Hello and welcome along to another edition of our LIVE Hull City transfer blog.

Throughout the day we'll be here to bring you all the latest news and rumours involving the Tigers.

Geoff Peters of TalkSport has suggested that City are interested in taking Leicester City's Ahmed Musa on loan this season.

The Nigerian didn't enjoy the greatest of debut seasons in England, scoring just twice in 18 league appearances for the Foxes, however, City reportedly face competition from West Bromwich Albion for his signature.

Leonid Slutsky has previously worked with Musa at CSKA Moscow, where the forward enjoyed a healthy goals to game ratio of one in three.

Leicester are believed to be keen on cutting their losses and moving Musa on this summer, despite signing him for £16million just last summer. While a permanent deal would be preferable, the Foxes would be willing to accept a loan deal with his wages paid.

That's it for us today

We’ll be back tomorrow with more transfer news and rumours as the season edges ever closer.

Who is reported Tigers target and Shrewsbury keeper Callum Burton?

Who is he?

The Englishman has been at Shrewsbury Town since 2013, but has been moved out on loan six times between then and now. The 20-year-old has struggled for game time at the New Meadow and following the purchase of two new goalkeepers this summer his future at Shrewsbury looks bleak.

What experience does he have?

Not much at all at senior level. He has never been truly in the picture at Shrewsbury and despite them being his parent club for 4 years now, Burton has only appeared for them once. He has had 6 spells out on loan to five different clubs, Market Drayton Town, Workington, Nuneaton Town, Southport, Nuneaton Town and AFC Telford United. Between 2013 and now, and for six clubs, Burton has only appeared 26 times. Burton has represented England at every level up to under-18. However his last appearance was in 2014.

Why do City want him?

Obviously, City haven’t enquired about Burton as a replacement for recently departed starting goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic, senior players David Marshall and Allan McGregor will likely fight it out for this spot, he’s likely under the watch of Slutsky and co to take a role in the under-23 side this season which could allow promising young Will Mannion to go out on loan and gather some vital first-team experience. This would make sense, as not only would it allow the depth of goalkeepers at the club, but it would help promising Mannion’s development without leaving the reserve goalkeeper role open.

Is the deal likely?

With Shrewsbury having just signed two goalkeepers, Burton is down the pecking order and will want a move away. He’ll be attracted by the offer of a bigger club and so likely to be offering more money and better facilities. Shrewsbury will be open to talks for this deal.

Who is reported City target Ahmed Musa?

Who is he?

A 25-year-old Nigerian striker who rose out of the GBS Football Academy to be offered a deal at VVV-Venlo in 2010. He made a name for himself for CSKA Moscow where over 164 appearances he converted 54 times. From this goal record and his blistering pace, and good on-the-ball ability he earned himself a Premier League move to then champions Leicester City. The 25-year-old didn’t have a good first season in England with just 4 goals in 29 appearances.

What experience does he have?

Musa has plenty of experience considering his age. He’s played in the top-tier in Holland and Russia, and now England. Particularly in Russia, Musa spent 5 seasons in Moscow, playing 164 times, including making appearances and scoring goals in the Champions league. Musa has little experience of English football, only having played a season for Leicester, and failing to settle in straight away and hit the form he found in Russia.

Why do City want him?

There’s reported interest from the Tigers for Musa, this would make sense. Slutsky has managed the Nigerian before at CSKA and watched him grow into a consistent goal scorer. It would make sense for Slutsky to want to sign him again. City also need strikers, and players who can create goals to help them bounce back up to the Premier League, after Abel Hernandez didn’t come through with the goals last season.

Is the deal likely?

With the club-record fee of £16.6m being paid for Musa just last year, it’s unlikely the Foxes will want to let go of him a year later for less money, and so with Slutsky having a limited budget it’s unlikely a permanent deal would be on the cards. This would leave City with a loan-deal the most likely way of getting Musa’s signature, which does sound feasible. City may well have competition for Musa’s signature however, with West Bromwich Albion reportedly eyeing him up.

Max Gradel anyone?

French Football news outlet L’Equipe are reporting that Hull City are interested in the signing of Max Gradel.

The Bournemouth winger was touted with a move to the Tigers on deadline day in January and it seems the club’s interest in the winger isn’t dead.

However, Toulouse are said to be leading the chase to sign him.

The French club have submitted a loan offer, but the deal has been rejected by Bournemouth.

Watford, Sunderland and Besiktas are also touted to be interested.

Marco Silva tried to bring Andre Carillo to the KCOM Stadium

Watford look set to land Benfica winger Andre Carillo this summer, according to the Watford Observer.

You might be thinking so what has that got to do with Hull City?

Well as far as City fans are concerned, the Peru international be classed as one that got away.

The report claims that Marco Silva tried to make Carillo a Tiger during his time at the club when he submitted an enquiry to the Portuguese giants.

However, despite his best efforts the player remained in Portugal.

This is ridiculous

While playing for the United States last night, Jozy Altidore had quite the encounter with El Salvador player Henry Romero.

During the game cameras showed the defender clearly bite the former Hull City man before twisting his nipples.

When asked about the incident after the game, which USA won 2-0, the striker thankfully saw the funny side.

“These things happen. It is what it is, funny enough. I shouldn’t be saying these things happen, but they do. Just move on from it, learn from it, and get ready for the next game.”

Callum Burton in talks with Hull City

Shrewsbury Town goalkeeper Callum Burton is reportedly in talks over a move to Hull City, report the Shropshire Star.

The promising 20-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at New Meadow as Shrewsbury have brought in two new goalkeepers this summer.

As such Burton could be on his way out of the club and City look to be in the frame.

The Tigers currently have David Marshall and Allan McGregor as the club’s only senior goalkeepers, with England under-19 international Will Mannion comfortably the Tigers best young keeper at the club.
